Stay In A Luxury Suite In The Heart Of Jim Thorpe

Jim Thorpe, PA, USA

Apartment

Sleeps: 2

Bedrooms: 1

Bathrooms: 1

Min Stay: 2 nights

1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 2

Lodging at it's best! Stay in an upscale Suite in the heart of Jim Thorpe. Van Pelt's Suite on Opera Square is directly across the street from the Mauch Chunk Opera House on Opera House Square! This suite has just been created and feels like you're staying in Soho, NYC. Brand new pillow top mattress, brand new kitchen with all amenities, new reclining sofa, new smart TV and even a washer/dryer. Artwork by Joel LeBow hangs on the walls creating a beautifully relaxing atmosphere.

The house was originally owned by Lehigh Valley Navigation, then sold and the first floor was a barber shop. We did have a store also but decided to give this lovely space to guests traveling to Jim Thorpe to enjoy.

Come and make memories!

About Helen Van Pelt

We are originally from NJ but my husband's grandparents lived in Coaldale, PA which is about 20 minutes from Jim Thorpe. When we were going to retire we decided to look around this area and found this magnificent town of Jim Thorpe. We love the history, the architecture and the fact that there is so much to do in this small town. When we bought our house we originally had an Antique Shop on the first floor of our 3 story home. Last year we decided to close the shop and created a luxury suite in the space. My husband, Steve, did all the work and I must applaud him for the gorgeous space he created!

Helen Van Pelt purchased this Apartment in 2000

Why Helen Van Pelt chose Jim Thorpe

This is one of the best locations in town. Galleries, Opera House, shops, restaurants, and all activities are right outside the door. We offer discounted tickets for shows at the Opera House and other stay packages. The suite is for 2 people only and is open all year.

What makes this Apartment unique

You will also love this location since it is steps away from everything you need or want in town. The bonus is that the Mauch Chunk Opera House is directly across the street.
Also included in your stay is a Continental Breakfast and the suite is stocked with snacks, coffee and much much more!

We had a great stay in Jim Thorpe! Helen is a great hostess, she had even baked us fresh pumpkin bread for our arrival! This suite is so clean and cozy, and has every amenity that we needed. In addition, this suite is perfectly located in the little town. We could walk to everything... food, tours, and entertainment.

Had a great experience renting the Van Pelt Suite in Jim Thorpe. Everything about the apartment was comfortable and cozy. The perfect place to relax for a weekend away from the kids, ideally situated in Jim Thorpe for access to the shops, restaurants, and excursions. If we come back to Jim Thorpe, we'll definitely be reserving here again.

First I want to thank Helen and Steve for their hospitality and attention to our comfort. My hubby and I had the best weekend! The suite was immaculate and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was beautiful and fully stocked with all utensils etc. as if it was my own at home. We were even supplied with the BEST pumpkin muffins ever and complimentary beer and wine. We can't wait to return for another visit!
